Description: This dataset encompasses counts of both deorbited and in-orbit payloads, predominantly satellites, including parts and supplies for all space stations. Notably, USSR data points are not differentiated from Russian. The data, sourced from the www.space-track.org API, spans the years 1957 to 2023.
Description: Each bar represents the number of satellites launched in a given year, categorized by their purposes. Some satellites serve multiple functions and are counted accordingly. For clarification, “Intelligence Earth Science” refers to scientific research conducted in space concerning Earth, as opposed to space science, which constitutes a separate category. “AIS” stands for Automatic Identification System. This data is sourced from the www.space-track.org API.
Description: This map displays all launch sites for rockets dating back to 1957, encompassing launches from both governmental and private entities, including unsuccessful ones. Excluded are launches conducted at sea without GPS information or airborne launches aided by planes. The color and size of each point correspond to the number of launches, with the option to access detailed information about each site, including location, exact launch count, and years of activity. It’s important to note that many launches deploy multiple satellites, contributing to observed discrepancies. This data is scraped from the Space Launch Now Database (https://spacelaunchnow.me/launch/)
